My painting part of the exhibition DROP was a series of large abstract canvases. Among these, I offer my most recent representative painting for your collection. The painting is a view of absolute painterly surfaces that originate from gesture painting or abstraction. The system of coloured paints, resulting from the deliberately haphazard use of tools, applied almost randomly to the canvas, evokes from our memory our experience of a seemingly untouched nature, a wooded landscape. Seeing the painting, we can thus transform the painterly, informal structures into a personally experienced reality. Modifying my earlier creative practice somewhat, I have recently been incorporating artificial intelligence into the design phase of my paintings. The concept of the exhibition was a critique of the virtualisation of the knowledge of nature in a civilisation that imagines itself as modern. With my paintings and installations in DROP, I reflected on our ambivalent feelings about the 'AI' applications that increasingly dominate our existence. A particular interpretation was given to a question I had asked long before, in the title of one of my 2007 exhibitions: "where is the forest I am painting?"
